Lite OF Literary People.

If it be said that literary people must
live, and that literature is pgecarious
means of support, the obvious reply
would be that all means of income are
precar Gus, and literature no more so
than the rest. Whatever employment
one chooses, he must take the rsk of
failure in it. Many a lawyer has liter
ally almost no clients; many physician
has hardly any patients; and why should
n writer expect to be more secure? HIS
possible przes in money are not so
great as the lawyers probably. but they
are greater than those of the physician
or the clergyman; and the blanks are
less, on the whole, than in either of
these occupations. have known men
of all these professions who were abso-
lutely unemployed. A lawyer of unu-
sual attainmeats. returning in middle
lite to the home of his youth, told me
that for one year he had not single cli-
ent, great or small; he did not so much
as draw will or deed.
L have never known decently equip
ped literary man or womar to be left
thus hopelessly stranded; there was al
ways something TO be earned. even at a
low price. Apparently the bitterest of
these complaints emanate from literary
men in large cities who live face to face
with the vast successes of the stock ex-
change, and cannot be satisfied so long
as the nation does not furnish them
with corresponding incomes. They do
not recognize that perhaps it is poverty
which has drawn out OF them whatever
approach to genius they have shown;
ard that, If they gained the millions
which they seem to themselves TO de-
serve, perhaps the genius might vanish,
like the song of canary which is fed
too well. ~. W. H." ia Hdrper's Ba-

previous, while the most conspicuous
effect is TO swell their bump OF combat

In fact, after having, when sober, de-

Cinnamon serve Joss with roast pig in
New York. He says: 1.-The Cinnamon
are very particular in making their
purchases. as they are afraid to palm
of bad hog on the great Joss. In
order to have the porkers fresh and
wholesome they prefer to buy live ami
mails. The pigs are examined carefully
from snout to tail. They must have
regular features, be well proportioned
and without particle of blemish of
any kind. When properly cleansed the
entire carcass is soaked in aromatic
spices for at least an hour. Then the
dresser, who is usually an expert ca
terer, proceeds to prepare it for roast
ing. The legs are so bent that they
assume kneeling posture when placed
before joss. The mouth is pried open
and ball of dough colored red is in
serted between the teeth to make it re-
semble a dragon trying to swallow a
ball of fire. The eyes are carefully
closed and the lashes Strengthened out.
The ears are spread out and the tail is
curled upwards towards the back. The
oven or bin is so constructed with COM
partments that the space in which the
pig is shut up only receives the heat
from the fire below, while another com.
partmeyt carries Oft the flame and
smoke. in this manner pig that
weighs 80 pounds or more is roasted
to beautiful brown in less than an
hour. hen it is taken out and painted
light red and otherwise Enthusiastically
decorated to make Joss happy.
